Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish feels Luis Suarez will be stronger for his ban. The Uruguayan, who last played on Boxing Day, is back from his ban after being found guilty of racially abusing Manchester United defender Patrice Evra.

And Dalglish admitted: "I think you learn something every time you go to your bed, whether it's good, bad or indifferent is open to conjecture.

"We are just glad to get him back but we are not going to go over old ground.

"We are much stronger as a squad of players and a football club with Luis on our side, back fit and well and ready to play."
